CREPLACE: Stata module to exchange values cyclically between variables

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: creplace is an extended version of replace, which exchanges values cyclically between variables in a list of two or more variables. By default, the values in each variable are replaced by values from the next variable in the list, or by values from the first variable, in the case of the last variable. Optionally, the values in each variable are replaced by values from the previous variable in the list, or by values from the last variable, in the case of the first variable. If there are only two variables in the list, then their values will simply be exchanged. Variables in the list must be all numeric or all string. After exchanging the values, creplace will compress these variables to the smallest storage type possible without loss of information.
